Describe Dragonias with gold scales… time passes as it is and eventually it is morning.

Time had passed until it was morning, and the fire whirlwind was still moving around quite well, but still smaller than when Ray first created it.

"Hey, Ray.... that flaming tornado... when will it go away?

Zai asks, drinking Ray's prepared soup.

Before the raid, the dragonias didn't notice, it wasn't just water, but now that the raid was over and he was leading the dragonias, I guess, he killed the dragonias with the golden scales, and the orders of the dragonias with the golden scales made it better not to worry about other dragonias raids, there's no need to worry about the smell.

That's what I was able to eat, as I had eaten in the camp until I came here, the dish I took out of the ordinary Ray mistering.

Since last night...... exactly the line I've been in since I arrived here yesterday, eating nothing and drinking only the water Ray produced with his running water dagger.

Indeed, the water produced from the dagger of running water using Ray's magic is delicious. That's enough to describe it as heavenly sweet dew.

But still... water is only water.

No matter how much delicious the water is, it really makes me hungry not to eat anything for nearly half a day just the water.

Now if we could have eaten even dried meat or hard-baked bread, we would have been able to distract the hunger somewhat, but even the dragonias are dominated by hunger.

If we were to eat bread or dried meat in the vicinity of such people - which is actually quite a distance away - no doubt Dragonias would not have been surprised to smell that smell.

(I'm not talking about Dragonias alone, but it's like they can eat so they don't understand the smell when something happens... it would be useful to have magic items like that)

It's not just for this one.

Monsters, animals, or humans, elves, dwarves, everything else... it wasn't uncommon to look for prey by smell or notice something.

Even if it doesn't get that far, some insects are like those that come from the smell of sweat and alcohol.

To do something about that hand, it would naturally be best to have a magic item that works like that that doesn't leak the smell around you.

Even as a ray with a hobby of collecting magic items, if you have such magic items, you definitely want them.

Worst of all, to the point where you think you can ask an alchemist.

"Ray?"

"Oh, no. I'm sorry. I haven't eaten in a while."

"Long time no see... about half a day"

To Ray's deception, Zai tells him so with a slight blur.

At the same time that it is only half a day, half a day has passed, but I guess Ray is the only one who thinks so.

"Still. … so was it a fire whirlwind"

"Is that the name of that flaming tornado? Oh, yeah. About that fire whirlwind. Personally, I don't think you can burn forever, but that's why I can't imitate that we're here or that forever. I think Ray knows that, too."

"I guess. In the first place, I don't think it's all here in Dragonias."

Dragonias, who was at this home base, defeated everything in this raid.

However, as we have previously attacked the Zays' settlement… or as we encountered on our way here, Dragonias is acting differently from the group here.

Even if we defeat all the dragonias here, the rest of them will remain intact.

Above and beyond that, that's the situation where faces like Zai and Drat are not in the settlement, and none of those dragonias have the possibility to strike the settlement.

(In that sense, Zai and the Dorats came this way... blah, blah, blah, blah)

Now, it was really more of a story now, but Ray thinks so.

Zai and Dorat are known as arms handlers among the settlements.

Because when the settlement was actually raided by Dragonias, it was fighting and winning against individuals bigger than the rest of Dragonias.

"In the meantime, I don't know when the fire whirlwind will subside either. However, given this situation, I feel like I can leave you alone.... No, that's not why"

I don't mind what's rampant here, but in some cases the possibility of a fire whirlwind moving out of here and going somewhere cannot be completely denied.

Even if that's a limitless possibility, you need to know better than that.

(Fortunately, I was able to shorten my time considerably by the time I got here, and on top of that, I guess I don't have to worry that much about time because I originally have a spare time respite)

With that in mind, Ray once again turns his gaze to where the fire whirlwind is raging around.

Ray doesn't even know how much Dragonias survives right now.

Given that the fire whirlwind was raging around nearly overnight, it seems almost certain that many of the dragonias died.

Supposedly...... nevertheless, I needed to make sure it was completely wiped out.

(Oh, but I was leading the Dragonias, because I defeated Dragonias with a gold scale... no, you can't. Ningro, considering the gold scale dragonias that were wrapping up the other dragonias are dead, each of them could start to move as they please)

In the end, it would still be such a conclusion that Dragonias here should have defeated everything here.

"Hey, Ray! That......"

Zai inadvertently points in a certain direction with such a voice.

What existed in that pointed direction was not the place where the fire whirlwind was raging around...... but a completely different place.

What was in Zai's indicated direction was a herd of nearly thirty Dragonias.

Instead of escaping from a place with a fire whirlwind... we are on the contrary moving towards a place with a fire whirlwind.

Normally, you wouldn't think you'd want to head to a place where ten fire whirlwinds are raging around.

But Dragonias is basically dominated by hunger, and he doesn't imitate things like thinking about himself, and he can't.

I guess what we can do is move as instructed by Dragonias with gold scales, who are in control of us from above…

And he carried out some sort of order, and this is how he returned.

When Ray explains that, the meaning of the word… a sinister look appears on the face of the face who understands what he was ordered to do.

If I think about it normally, I could imagine where the orders that Dragonias was given would crush it.

I don't think I can carry it out by giving complex orders to a hunger-dominated dragonias.

That is why we shall give simple orders… It is not difficult to imagine, in this meadow, orders such as those made by Dragonias.

Above all, the body of Dragonias, approaching a place with a fire whirlwind, has a blood stain that cannot be misseen.

Beyond that, it would be obvious what Dragonias and the others have done.

All Zai and the others could do was hope that at least they were raided, not by Centaur, but by another creature more... or not by a settlement close to ourselves, even by Centaur... and in the worst case, not by ourselves, but by ourselves.

"What do we do? Should we take down those dragonias?

To Ray's words, Zai worries.

In the meantime, it's nothing but suicide that faces other than Ray try to fight from the front, beyond being a dragonias that exists about thirty.

When that happens, I'm going to ask Ray to knock me out... do I need to bother knocking you down here? There were also thoughts.

Anyway, Dragonius and the others are headed straight for the one with the fire whirlwind.

Even if we don't do something like this, it's the fire whirlwind that will burn us to death.

If so, he decides he doesn't have to bother killing him, and Zai shakes his neck sideways against Ray's words.

"No, let's stop it. However, if those Dragonias try to escape their home base, I want Ray to take them down.... I wish we could clean it up."

I tell you remorsefully, Zai.

From the pride of Centaur, I guess I still regret things like letting Ray and Seto have all the dragonias.

Ray knew that too, so he wouldn't say anything more particularly than that.

If I said something here, it would be an insult to the Zays, because it seemed so.

"Okay. Then, like that. … However, as far as I can see, Dragonias is not heading anywhere else."

As Ray put it, the newly emerged thirty or so dragonias proceed toward their home base without looking concerned about the fire whirlwind at all.

(Was that golden scale dragonias with absolute orders more than I expected?

Even if it is dominated by hunger, the former would normally be stronger in the crisis of life and hunger.

Nevertheless, the newly emerged Dragonias are headed straight for the fire whirlwind.

It means that if Dragonias, for example, with a gold scale, orders you to die, you may even follow that order immediately… things may happen normally.

Of course, we don't know if we can actually imitate that, and Dragonias with a gold scale is dead by Ray's hands in the first place.

It was definitely strong because it only had the strength to recieve the throw of the spear of dusk - although it was damaged by the gold scale. I don't... but if I tried to make the Flaming Emperor's Red Armor a activated ray, there was an absolute difference there.

As a result, even though the Centaurs fought an otherwise absolutely unwinnable opponent, Ray lightly... it has already won very lightly.

But that's only because it's Ray.

To just such an opponent, generic - although the individual differences are too great - it is not surprising to have the kind of absolute power of command over Dragonias.

"I knew... you went in"

Which centaur the hell was that squealed like that?

But it is an unmistakable fact that Dragonias and the others actually went to the main unit... and entered the scorching hell of a fire whirlwind.

And... they were unlucky, and two fire whirlwinds through the vicinity the moment they entered the main unit hit each other and bounced like bagoma, swallowing all the thirty or so dragonias that came into the home base.

If it were just a fire whirlwind, the red scaled dragonias resistant to the flames might have survived, but if more than one dragonias were swallowed by a fire whirlwind at the same time, naturally it would not be strange for it to be crushed, broken and crushed by the bodies of its allies.

Not to mention the large quantities of discarded weapons, including blades, in the fire whirlwind.

Most likely, the discarded weapon has already melted due to the heat caused by the fire whirlwind, so the weapon... No, it may not be the murder weapon.

"Wow..."

Seeing the dragonias swallowed by the fire whirlwind, one of the Centaurs squeals like that unexpectedly.

If you try Centaur and the others, Dragonias can be called an enemy.

That's so much so that I don't know how many Centaurs have ever been eaten and killed by Dragonias.

But...... Still, all I can think of right now is that the sight done in front of me is honestly pathetic.

It's as if you've even been deprived of your own will... No, not in this case, I guess you're actually deprived of your own will.

Hunger and order. By those two, Dragonias proceeds from himself to death.

Dragonias, unwilling to be himself, can only be pathetic if he tries to be the one who watches.

Even if it were those who were eaten and killed by scattered dragonias: companions, friends, lovers, family.

Though, I'm pretty sure it's a minority that thinks so.

I saw the fire whirlwind at the end of my gaze still existed… it was only a few hours after noon that the fire whirlwind was finally extinguished.
